Whitehall secluded campground

3 sites · Tents20 acres · Whitehall, NY
The entrance can only be access by suv. Regular sedans can enter based on season and even that is not really the best option. Otherwise they would need to park and walk. Once you get passed the entrance you can choose either closer to the main road or further away area. Someone will be present to help. Throughout the week the owner will be available on most days. But not always on site. You will have plenty of room for privacy and silence. He has some chickens about 30 and one cute little dog who will always be on site to guard the small section he is working on as well as the chickens. The plot has one entrance and one exit. A small pond. Lot of trees and hills. It’s about 60 acres total but the section being used by owner is off limit unless leaving the area. Violators will be immediately removed fined and won’t get refunded. As of now no bathroom facilities but will update if we end up renting one. A nearby store is present for anything we can’t offer. It’s a pretty remote area. Plenty of room to explore we will have a map of the areas and where it end so that one doesn’t end up on our neighbors property. Costumer support available over the phone and as mention someone will be present for any other questions if they are on site because they do work offsite but within the area.

Camping near Fair Haven guide

Overview

Fair Haven is a small town on the New York-Vermont border surrounded by hiking, camping, and boating opportunities—and it’s the first town you reach in Vermont if you’re heading into the state via US 4 from New York. The Castleton River flows right through town, where the downtown area boasts some of the best Victorian architecture in the state. Several state parks and the Green Mountain National Forest are just a short drive from Fair Haven, many offering lakeside camping, cabins, and access to some of Vermont’s best beauty spots.

Where to go

Lake Bomoseen

Under 15 minutes from Fair Haven, Bomoseen State Park is set on the shores of Vermont’s largest lake, Lake Bomoseen. The park offers camping, boating, and fishing, while hikers will find several forest trails, including one to nearby Half Moon Pond State Park. Campers can make reservations up to 11 months in advance.

Half Moon Pond State Park

Only 20 minutes from Fair Haven, Half Moon Pond State Park is situated on a quiet pond in the middle of dense woods near Bomoseen State Park. Motorized water boats are not allowed on the pond, making it ideal for paddlesports and fishing. In addition to 11 lean-tos and 52 campsites suitable for tents and medium-sized trailers, Half Moon Pond State Park also has five cabins and one cottage available for rent.

Green Mountain National Forest

In southwestern and central Vermont, just west of Fair Haven, the Green Mountain National Forest spans nearly 400,000 acres of green valleys, mountains, lakes, and streams. Parts of the Appalachian Trail run through the forest, and several national forest campgrounds offer quiet, scenic camping spots in the heart of the woods. Once the snow falls, the Green Mountain National Forest becomes a popular destination for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, and downhill skiing.

When to go

The best time to camp, hike, and boat at the state parks and national forest surrounding Fair Haven is from late May through September. The Bomoseen State Park campground is only open from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, while the Half Moon Pond State Park campground stays open until the second Monday in October. Some Green Mountain National Forest campgrounds are open year-round. Fall is a popular time to visit Fair Haven, as leaves start changing in mid-September and often peak in early to mid-October.

Know before you go

  1. You can find grocery stores, restaurants, and most other visitor services in Fair Haven. 
  2. The Fair Haven Vermont Welcome Center is a great place to get trail maps and camping information, as well as a free cup of Green Mountain Coffee.
  3. Vermont state parks often have restrictions on where dogs are allowed. Pets are often not allowed on swimming beaches or in day-use areas, though leashed dogs are allowed in Green Mountain National Forest.
